Thriving Beyond Limits: Unleashing the Power of Purposeful Leadership and Courageous Goal-Setting

In his book, 𝗠𝗮𝗻’𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, Frankl speaks to the experience of surviving the horrific conditions of Nazi’s death camps – for him Auschwitz. He delves into the power of man’s / woman’s inner self when we can envision a goal bigger than what may seem currently attainable; that we make the bravest and most winning of choices with our eye on that higher goal.

As an example, I often speak of the big, uncomfortable choices I made going through cancer treatment in 2021, with a vision of LIVING – because I was not done, and I had so much more to give and to experience.

Do you find yourself going through the motions of life? Or are you up to a much higher standard for how you set your goals? How do you set stretch goals – these being the dreams that make you a little (or a lot) uncomfortable – but WOW, what if??? How do you set yourself up to maximize the short time you have on this planet – to THRIVE TODAY ACROSS YOUR WHOLE LIFE – instead of waiting for some tomorrow that may not come because of a deadline at work?
